Tired of the Whole Ugly Soap Opera at HP
I imagine we're all getting tired of this story. As C/NET's Charles Cooper put it this week:
"Truth be told, I'm getting fairly sick of chronicling the truths, half-truths and lies that have attended this affair. But this story's not being fueled by a bloodthirsty pack of reporters chasing a headline. It's being pursued by state and federal investigators because laws were broken, and rules of corporate governance were tossed aside."
Amen. All the principals have lawyered-up, Dunn and Baskins have resigned. Perkins preserves his reputation. And Sonsini escaped any untoward publicity. It's looking like Hurd may get past it all, and Wall Street breaths a sigh of relief. (How that sounds like a reprise of Desperate Housewives!)
Next week I'm going back to Teaching MIS.
The only bright spot: maybe more people have learned the dangers of phishing,
